We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Samantha Spear on July 22, 2024, in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Born on August 12, 2002, Samantha was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and community member.

Samantha is survived by her spouse, Courtney Stantz, whom she married in 2021. Together, they raised six children: Carl, Bruschetta, Franklin, Alfredo, Velma, and Arthritis. She was also a proud grandmother to three grandchildren.

Samantha dedicated her life to serving others, both in her career and through volunteer work. She worked at The Tiddy Bar before retiring in 1987 and was actively involved in the All of Them organization. She was awarded 24 medals during her time in the Navy, where she served as a General in the 245 unit for 34 years.

Outside of her professional life, Samantha had a passion for helping those in need. She frequently dumpster dived to feed the homeless, showing her generosity and compassion for those less fortunate.

Tragically, Samantha's life was cut short as a result of a fatal accident. She got into a fight with her wife after an intense break dancing tournament, and while she was spinning on her head, she broke her neck.

Samantha will be remembered for her selflessness, dedication, and love for her family and community. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
